 Freedom. Many of you have been wondering why I've been recording like this, rather than like this, like I used to. Well, let me explain. While I talk, I hope you don't mind, I'm going to cut back to the Freedom website. So, lately, the Freedom office has been under a little bit of construction. The studios that I used to use have been under construction to increase the amount of sound deadening there is in those rooms. I don't want to say soundproofing, because that's not really what we're going for, but we do want to make sure that when I go, Freedom! Hmm, I'm not bothering anybody else in the office. Also, we want to make sure that there's as little echo in the room as possible. That was a little bit of a problem with the other room, which is why you saw me use the lapel mic so much because it allowed me to talk much more softly, and it didn't come across in the video because of the lapel mic. It also reduced a lot of the echo because it really wasn't, it was very focused in that one area. So, there has been a little bit of silence from my part. I do apologize. Thankfully, George has been really good about making videos. Maybe not as good as he used to be. George! But, he's done a really good job. And, you know, I know I appreciate him. He appreciates me. Occasionally, we all kind of go to these dead spots, and I'm very glad that, you know, the entire channel wasn't dead for all this time. There was also a brief period there where I was actually back in the States there in December, and then there was also a time where my mother came out to the Philippines to visit. So, you know, that was kind of a very busy time for me. Not a lot of extra time to sit around and script things and, you know, dream up ideas for videos and that sort of thing. But, very fun, not staying in I regret any of it. I loved every minute of having her out here. If you're of a certain age, or if you've ever been away from your parents, let me know your experience having them visit you for a very long time without having seen them. And, my experience was, I mean, it was about what you would expect being a 30-ish old man having his mother visit. It was interesting. A lot of cool family dynamics that, when you don't live with family or near family, you forget about and you kind of have to settle back into. It's really cool, and I had a blast while she was out here. I took around a couple of outings. We went on a vacation while she was here. If you've never been to the Philippines, I have to say once you get outside of Manila or the metro areas, it's like heaven. It's pretty awesome. Let me know in the comment section down below if you would like to see what it's like here in the Philippines, or if you want it a little bit sooner, you can go check out my vlog channel youtube.com slash Anthony Smith. I'll try to add a card or link in the description, or maybe I'll forget completely and you could just yell at me in the comment section down below and I will link to that because you can see I'm actually starting to do vlogs again, which is something that I'm able to do because I hired a personal editor so that I can now offload that to them. Completely non-freedom related. I'm not trying to pimp my personal channel, just saying if you want it quicker than I can get it up here on Freedom Central, go check it out. Anyways, I'm babbling at this point. I apologize. Yeah, if you were talking about, oh yeah, why I wasn't making videos. Oh, also, Chico stole my lighting. If you don't know who Chico is, Chico has done a show here on this channel a couple of times, a couple like for like a month or so, where he was doing livestreams, answering support questions from people such as yourself, and he stole my lighting in this very room. And then I figured while he was stealing my lighting and not letting me have it back, we might as well go ahead and, you know, redo the soundproofing. Then he stopped doing his show. It was disappointing. Anyways, now that I've blamed Chico and I've picked on George and other things, I should probably go. Anyways, until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe, and do all those things that make us love our jobs. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other. Bye, Freedom Family.
